Sir Paul McCartney and
Ringo Starr, the two surviving
members of the Beatles,

the ’60s when Beatles drummer
Ringo Starr took the stage and
a series of Beatles-era photos
flashed on the screens behind him.
Starr sang “Photograph,”bringing
the crowd to its feet in a standing
ovation.

Paul McCartney and Starr took the
stage together to perform a song
from McCartney’s latest album
“New,” making it their first
performance together since 2009.

Julia Roberts announced their
performance before McCartney
appeared on stage, playing a
colorful piano from the “Magical
Mystery Tour” era, as Starr rocked
out on the drums.

Earlier in the show, McCartney
was joined on stage by Dave Grohl,
Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear to
accept their award for Best Rock
Song for a track he had written with
the former Nirvana band members,
“Cut Me Some Slack.”

The Beatles** are releasing a restored version of their classic 1967 film, Magical Mystery Tour. The film, written and directed by the band, has been long out of print, but will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray. There’s also a combined deluxe box set featuring both versions, along with a 60-page book and a reproduction of the mono double seven-inch vinyl EP containing the film’s six Beatles songs: “Magical Mystery Tour,” “The Fool On The Hill,” “I Am The Walrus,” “Flying,” “Blue Jay Way” and “Your Mother Should Know.” The EP was originally issued in the U.K. in 1967 to accompany the movie.

Magical Mystery Tour will be available October 8th. Select movie theaters will screen the film starting September 27th. Listings will be available on the Beatles’ website.

Paul McCartney received France’s Legion of Honor award on Saturday at a private ceremony at Paris’ Elysee Palace. The Beatles legend was presented with the prize by French President Francois Hollande, who raised McCartney to an Officer in the Legion in acknowledgement of his career musical contributions.
In recognition of the honor, McCartney received a special medal that Hollande pinned on his jacket. According to The Telegraph, the French president quipped during the ceremony that he preferred The Beatles to The Rolling Stones. A number of McCartney’s friends and family members attended the event.
The Legion of Honor is the highest civilian award presented in France. Very few British citizens have been recipients of the honor.

The iconic artist has been entertaining the masses since his teens, when he met a local kid named John Lennon from his native Liverpool, England and joined his group The Quarrymen.

McCartney has established himself as a great solo star too and continues to rock audiences around the world, including a rather royal crowd at Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee concert in London earlier this month.

He remains the most successful composer and recording artist of all time with sales of over 100 million albums and 100 million singles around the world, and the superstar isn’t showing any signs of retiring.

In celebration of his huge success, here are 10 fascinating facts about the man of the hour to say, “Happy Birthday, Macca!”

His hit Beatles song Yesterday is the most covered song in the history of recorded music – more than 2,200 artists have performed their own renditions of the track.Yesterday Mp3 – Download!

McCartney became the last of the Fab Four to be awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame when he unveiled the honour earlier this year.
